Chapter 927: Preserving Heaven's Principles, Destroying Rebellious Captives
"Preserve the laws of heaven and destroy the rebellious enemy! Preserve the laws of heaven and destroy the rebellious enemy..."
Feng Mingshan shouted slogans while directing his 100 sword and shield hands who could play "black magic" to follow another team leader and spearmen.
A team of captains and spearmen and a team of swords and shields all lined up and crushed south along the wide main road in the north gate of Shitou City.
Behind them, there were countless teams of swords, shield soldiers, spearmen and archers. Every time the swords, shield soldiers commanded by Fengming Mountain walked across a crossroad, there would be a fire archer, a fire archer and a fire archer to occupy the tallest building at the intersection. At the same time, there would be a team of swords, shield soldiers, and archers advancing along the interlaced streets to clear away the remaining enemies in other places.
In Stone City, at this time, many militias from the Tianfang Sect had already joined the battle spontaneously or organizedly. However, they were not opponents of the "Guram" who were like wolves and tigers. They often collapsed at once and fell into chaos.
The military system of the Karakhan Dynasty consists of three parts: Guram slave soldiers, Ikta knights and militias. Theoretically, the Karakhan Dynasty should be the whole nation. In other words, every male Tianfang scholar who can pick up weapons in the Stone City is a militia soldier. And the number is quite large! Because Mahmood Berry had built a solid wall around the Stone City, driving a large number of farmers and herdsmen into the Stone City. Therefore, the small Stone City was filled with Tianfang Sect soldiers.
However, most of the militia soldiers were mobs. Only in the Battle of Gods can they act as cannon fodder with their high morale and consume the pagans' forces.
Today's siege battle is theoretically a battle of gods. Several respected leaders of the Tianfang Cult have announced the sacred war decree... But the situation today is a bit different, because Allah's warriors encounter the real devil this time.
He will use magic to collapse the city walls and throw explosive fireballs!
When the city gate tower collapsed just now, the militia responsible for defending the city did not even organize troops to block the entrance, and the infantry of the assaulted education regiment rushed in from the collapsed breakout.
The infantry of the Education Regiment that attacked the city was divided into three routes. Two routes were to seize the city walls, and one route pressed forward along the streets in the north city gate. Whenever they encountered a large group of enemies, they would first throw a few burst rockets, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack. In fact, the burst rockets were not very powerful, and the explosion was insufficient, and the broken wooden blocks were not fatal to hit people. However, for the Tianfang Cult militia who had never seen explosions, the mental blow was still quite great. The subsequent spear assault was to actually harvest life.
Not to mention that the militia cannot withstand such a blow, even if Guram goes up by himself, he may not be able to withstand it.
So when Mahmood Berry rushed out with his Gulam warriors to stabilize the situation, the streets outside were full of fleeing Stone City militias, and many people even shouted: "The devil is here! The devil is here..."
devil?
Of course there are devils in the world! Mahmoud Berry believes in Allah, so naturally he believes that there are devils.
But for a real warrior, the devil is not used to fear, but to defeat!
"Brothers of Gulam!" he shouted, "Follow me to kill the pagan devil! Allah will bless us!"
"Allah is the greatest! Allah is the greatest..."
Three or four hundred followers of Mahmood Berry now have a total of 770 Gulams in the city, but not all of them are in Mahmood's mansion (also Gulam's barracks). Some people are on duty on the city walls. So these Gulam fighters can gather together. These Gulam fighters quickly organized the team under the order of Mahmood Berry, which was about a square formation. Because they were fighting in the city, no one carried long spears, but only knives, shields, bows and arrows.
As soon as they finished the team, they heard the slogan "Keep the laws of heaven and destroy the rebels!" getting closer and closer.
"When the enemy comes up, let's block the streets first! Don't let any militia escape!" The experienced Mahmoud immediately issued an order.
Block the streets and then drive away the militia! This is Guram's standard tactic. Allah's warriors cannot be used to take the lead. Generally speaking, they drive away all kinds of miscellaneous soldiers to consume the enemy's strength and strength. Only when the consumption is almost done will Guram launch a fatal blow.
Most of the time, militiamen who believed in the Tianfang Sect were willing to take the lead for the Gurams, especially when fighting against pagan armies.
In the past, the Garakhan army relied on the Tianfang Sect's miscellaneous soldiers to fight the war of attrition, and exhausted the Kingdom of Khotan to death.
But today it seemed something was wrong. The militiamen in the Stone City who were running in chaos were particularly panicked. A large number of militia retreated and were blocked by the Gurams in front of the General's Mansion in Berry. Several vicious Guram soldiers rushed up and waved their swords to slash and kill them, and chopped down seven or eight. Even so, more and more militias were defeated. When they arrived here, they could neither retreat nor had the courage to turn back and kill again. They were mixed together and shouted loudly.
"Devil! Devil! They are devils..."
"Mr. Gulam, the enemy can do magic! They can do magic!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Just as the Gulam soldiers desperately hit the militia with their backs of swords, trying to drive them to the battlefield again, "magic" really came! As several short spears fell, a few loud noises suddenly sounded in the collapsed militia crowd. Several fireballs suddenly appeared in the crowd, sweeping down the gathered militia one by one.
Of course, most of the fallen militia were not fatal, but were knocked to the ground by the power of the explosion of gunpowder.
As soon as the fireball produced by the explosion dissipated, a harsh whistle sounded. Then there was the slogan "Keep the laws of heaven and destroy the evil enemy!"
A team of pike soldiers who set out four rows of horizontal lines immediately began to attack. The spears in the hands of the first row of soldiers were flat, while the soldiers in the second row of soldiers held their spears high and shouted slogans and came up.
The deadly spear quickly pierced the bodies of some militias, and dying screams and wailing sounds sounded at the same time. The panicked militias cried and wanted to escape!
But their escape route was blocked by the Gulam warriors!
"Form a formation! Side by side!"
Mahmood Berry shouted, and all the Gulam warriors immediately stood shoulder to shoulder, pressing the round shield in their hands directly in front of them.
"First row, put the knife flat!" Berry then ordered, "One, two, three, push forward!"
The shield and the scimitar formed one into one, and three or four hundred warriors formed a huge square formation and pressed forward together.
The back row pushed the front row, while the front row squeezed the Stone City militia who had done something wrong with a knife and shield, pushing their bodies towards the terrible spear!
This is to use the human body of a militia to rush as a tool to block the gun array! Although the methods are ruthless, the effect is still good.
The militia in despair had to fight to the death! Some were pierced, some people pinched the spear that stabbed through them, and some people were forced to have no choice but to shout slogans and pounced on the spear formation...
The crazy and desperate behavior seemed to have received some results. The infantry of the Education Regiment was temporarily blocked!
"The first fire, there are a few burst arrows!"
“Not 10 more!”
"Send it all!"
"Second fire! Get ready to throw!"
Feng Mingshan shouted at the top of his lungs and kept giving orders to throw burst arrows.
Although the lethality of these burst arrows is really limited, they can always loosen the crowded Tianfang Cult militias so that the spearmen in front can kill more.
At the same time, a team of archers behind the sword and shield team following Fengmingshan had smashed the houses of many residents on both sides of the street. It was not for robbery, but for occupying the commanding heights and then shooting arrows from a high place.
In these houses, most of the city of Tianfang Cult who fought to the death, everyone was a soldier.
So the battle was on the main street of the city and suddenly became bloody and cruel...
Ma Zheng, who was commanding the siege today, had already brought his military opportunities into Stone City when the sky was dark. He placed his command center on the newly captured East City Tower, condescending to watch the ongoing street battle.
Because of the "Explosion Rockets" to help the battle, when you look down from a high place, the situation on the battlefield is clear at a glance. Where there is dense firelight, there must be a place where the battle is more intense.
At this time, the three gates of the east, north and south of the city were already under the control of the Great Education Corps, and only one gate was left that had not been occupied yet.
It’s not that you can’t occupy it, but that you want to “open the Internet” and surround three quotas and one is common sense for military strategists. Moreover, Ma Zheng also needs someone to report to the “Chinese Lion King”. Only in this way can you attract more troops to the battlefield of Khotan.
"The general military aircraft, the one in the city seems to be fighting fiercely."
The combat aircraft accompanying Ma Zheng, Yi Yu, was holding a distant tube in his hand and was carefully observing the battlefield. "There seems to be some Gulam in armor near a crossroad in the center of the city!"
"Is that true?" Ma Zheng immediately took the telescope from Tongdao Yu to observe it himself.
Sure enough, among the crowds, there were really a group of arrays wearing chain mails squeezing the messy Stone City militia.
"There are three or four hundred people!" Ma Zheng gritted his teeth, "Chen Jiyi!"
"The last general is here!" The cavalryman Yi Chen Jian responded immediately.
"Take a flag to transfer a battalion of armored cavalry, enter the city from the south gate, and attack north along the avenue!"
"Here!"
Ma Zheng said again: "Liu Jiyi!"
Liu Long responded, the infantry military intelligence also responded.
"Transfer a battalion of infantry to set fire near the west gate of the city!"
"Here."
Chapter completed!
